- Quotes
Laura Harris: [talking about Victor Harris getting killed by an explosion in her car] I don't know, Mr. Mannix. I don't know why anybody would want me dead, but I do know it was my car, so it must've been me they wanted to kill.
Joe Mannix: How did your husband happen to take your car?
Laura Harris: I was rehearsing, and he came by the studio.
Joe Mannix: Rehearsing?
Laura Harris: I was doing a charity show. I belong to "The Helpmates." We do a benefit every year for crippled children. Tom Andros is producing it this year. Anyway, Victor came by about 10:00, and he said, "I'll take your car. Freddy'll drive you home."
Joe Mannix: Freddy?
Laura Harris: The chauffeur. Victor didn't want me driving home alone.
Joe Mannix: Could anyone else have known he was, uh, gonna switch cars?
Laura Harris: Freddy, of course, but beyond that, I couldn't say.
Joe Mannix: Do you have any idea where your husband was going?
Laura Harris: It was, uh... business... in the Valley, I think.
Joe Mannix: Wasn't that sort of unusual? I mean, it was after 10:00 p.m.
Laura Harris: 10:00 was early for Victor.
Joe Mannix: I'd like to talk to your chauffeur, if you don't mind.
Laura Harris: [picks up the phone and presses a button] Hello, Doris. Would you ask Freddy to come in, please? He's probably in the garage. Thank you.
[hangs up]
Joe Mannix: How long has he worked for you?
Laura Harris: Seven or eight years. For Victor, that is. We've been married for about three years.
Joe Mannix: Would you happen to know if your husband had any enemies?
Laura Harris: Mr. Mannix, having enemies goes with being wealthy and self-made.
Joe Mannix: Anyone who'd want to kill him.
Laura Harris: Not that I know of, but it's possible. Victor was very, very competitive. You might even say ruthless in business matters.
Freddy: [knocks on the door and enters] Something I can do for you, Mrs. Harris?
Laura Harris: This is Mr. Mannix, Freddy. He's a private investigator.
Freddy: Mr. Mannix.
Joe Mannix: Do you mind answering a few questions?
Freddy: No, sir.
Joe Mannix: Do you have any idea where Mr. Harris might have been going last night.
Freddy: He didn't say, sir.
Joe Mannix: Well, that's not exactly what I asked. I wanted to know if you had any idea where might have been going?
Freddy: I'm just a chauffeur, sir.
Joe Mannix: Mrs. Harris tells me he was going to keep a business appointment.
Freddy: Yes, I heard him.
Joe Mannix: And she also told me that he might have been going to the Valley. Did he go there regularly?
Freddy: Yes. Fairly often.
- ConnectionsEdited from Mannix: Trap for a Pigeon (1974)
There is one problem with the show and I doubt if many folks back then would have realized it. But, because I have DVDs of all the episodes I recognized that one of the chase scenes was lifted from the previous season. It also, unnecessarily, had Mannix destroy a car for this scene....his third of the show!
